Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I Had to Come Back to Make $300M in One Night

[boxingitis]

From what point of view, certainly not technical.

If you like your boxing like last night, maybe you should go watch some white collar boxing.

The hard work Floyd done was cultivating his fan base.

Haymon came from the music industry which does this, the music is not as important the fan base.

Sadly boxing fans will miss out if this trend continues.

Floyd made a career from cherry picking and ducking fighters in their prime.

Good for Floyd and made him money, bad for the boxing fans.

You come from a point of view of being a Floyd fan boy first, I come from a point of view of being a boxing fan first. That is why our perceptions differ.

I don't see other boxers doing what Floyd has done, even though they know how it was done. What u suggest Mayweather did is a lie because others would be doing the same to make as much as he does. Yet no one can.

haymon does well for his fighters. Easy cherry picked fights for easy money.

But you are not a fighter, you are meant to be a boxing fan, that wants to see the best fighters fight in their prime.

But haymon and floyd has fooled you and brought in fanboys into the sport, who love the man rather than the fight.


You and the other fanboys have become like these teen girls that love their boy bands, the music doesn't matter they love the group.

easy fights like manny vs clottey, manny vs algieri, manny vs rios, manny vs vargas lmfao.... All ppv scams by arum... I dont think haymon made those cherry picked fights...

I don't believe he made $300 mil.

this was such a one sided sparring session/exhibition... for those of you (mainly MMA fans/millenials) who though McGregor had a chance.... get the f_ _k out of here... I've seen interviews and people including MMA commentators making incoherent statements such as "if McGregor wants to pursue a boxing career he could"... hahahhahahaha!!!! sure, even a gardener, plumber, carpenter, bouncer, DJ, congressman can pursue a career in boxing if they want.... and just like McGregor will ket Knocked the eff out every time.... I seriously do hope McGregor goes into boxing and faces the likes of Thurman, Canelo, GGG, Lemieux heavy handed boxers... they would put him to sleep in no more then two rounds.... MMA will never compare to boxing ever...I know MMA is the in thing now a days and a lot of idiots if not the majority want to be with the in thing... but if you want to be in the best condition of your life and really kick somebody's ass... train in a boxing gym...

Fuck him for putting money above the integrity of the sport.

Having said that, I can't say I wouldn't have done the same in his shoes.

I'm going to guess that it does just over 2 million ppv buys. I really don't think it will break the May/pac buys at 4.6 million.

[Johnny Rubber]

Meanwhile manny is rematching horn on espn for $5 million smh.... But haymon is the devil and arum is the savior lulzzzzzz

So $5m is a figure worth shaking your head at now? We are talking about the earnings of people we don't even know, which you are using as a metric to balance your opinion?

NSB is full of inarticulate people attempting to air an opinion and trying to be amusing.

Its gonna do 5 million buys
And probably 2 million in the UK and Ireland
Add in Australia Canada Brazil and Floyd could very well make 300 million dollars.
